Unless they are trans you don't mind?
Don't you even know that it's still a heterosexual love story even if the girl is a trans????? That's just a disgusting thinking of you.
To expect a queer love story in a comic that is tagged as yaoi/shounen-ai? Why didn't they tag the story as Shoujo then?
Even if the woman was trans, the relationship would still be queer, no? To say that a transwoman in a relationship with a man or woman, is cis-heteronormative is ignorant at best.
Don't blame the author, blame the person who didn't tagged this as shoujo. Just because you're so angry and mad about there's a straight here and making it a big deal while complimenting the BL couple, it's says a lot on what kind of person you are.
To claim that you know what kind of a person I am just by a comment is horribly rude and childish.
I didn't blame the author. Where have I mentioned the author? We are all here reading comics illegally on an illegal website anyway, so what right do I have to blame the author anyway?
I simply read comics before buying them so I don't know what are you going to gain by shrieking at an actual queer person (me) for expecting to only read queer love story that is specifically tagged as yaoi/shounen-ai.
Is there a lack of hetero love stories all over the world? But how many queer medias with good representations can we actually find? A few that I can count on my fingers.
Don't make assumptions on my character or person. You don't know jack shit about me. For all you know, I might come from a country in south Asia where queer media is heavily censored and queer people have no rights or anti-discriminatory laws. Don't come at me with privilege for cis-hetero people when queer people who expect escapism online only to have hetero stories shoved down their throats.
"Idk if this was the decision of the artist/writer's editor's who was too responsible for making them delete the 'steamy' scenes which according to them was too 'sexual' hence had to make it safer to consume."--
This is what I said. I never outright blamed the author. Please don't put words in my mouth.
Even if the author knowingly added pages of cis-hetero love story in a comic tagged as yaoi/shounen-ai, I am confident to claim it was rather disingenuous of them.
This has happened before wherein companies responsible for media such as movies or series teased with inclusion of a 'gay couple' only for the whole thing to turn out to be only be about a cis-hetero couple with a side-scene of two men dancing and nothing else.
This tactic has been used to pocket queer people's money, companies duping them but keeping the homophobic population satisfied in the end.
I am not saying this author did the same but this is only an example of how far this thing can go.
God forbid an author who wants to to multiple pairings at the same time. If they were a lesbian couple you wouldn't give a shit. I skipped the straight couple and only read the BL part and finished the story and thought it was cool, guess what? I didn't complain and yap like an asshole just because theres a straight couple here
My issue isn't with multiple pairings, unless they are queer. I would have been ecstatic if there was a lesbian couple involved.
If someone puts their art online for others to judge, there is bound to be criticism involved with appreciations. To expect otherwise if highly naive. If they didn't want their art to be judged why didn't they just write it down in their journal and keep it to themself?
To state my opinion isn't assholery but freedom of speech or having free will which I am whole heartedly practicing.
You dick riding the author on this illegal website, a comic you are reading illegally isn't going to win you a prize.
Your internet activism for a cis-hetero couple in a yaoi/shounen-ai comic is pathetic and only exposes the miserable state of your ignorance. I hope you read up and inform yourself because acting childish and passing judgements on people you don't know.
And yes, I skipped those scenes too. While you kept quiet about it, I posed my point. Just because you have nothing to say due to your empty mind, doesn't mean others have nothing to say.
And yes, before you use the senseless logic as a "GOTCHA!" moment that not liking to engage in medias involving cis-hetero relationships in a fatal flaw in my character, I would like to make it absolutely clear, I absolutely detest any kind of romance involving cis-hetero couples. I don't engage in them, at times I tolerate medias containing them by skipping the scenes at best.
To believe that calling out a queer person for being uncomfortable or not finding a common ground with a cis-hetero couple is a rather ignorant and privileged opinion like calling a brown person (with history of colonisation) racist for not liking white people, or calling a woman (with a bad history with men) misandrist for not liking being around men.
A community with history of oppression is no way in the wrong for hating their oppressors. To claim otherwise is the real assholery.
I did see someone commenting for people like us for not tolerating cis-hetero relationships in a story which claims to be queer to get psychiatric help. To that person, I would like to say to step out of their echo chamber of ignorance and get educated before barking nonsense. Just because your comment garner likes, doesn't mean you are necessarily right.
Not reading all of that shit to waste my time. Bye
Ofc you wouldn't read being such an uncouth person. Ignorance is bliss.
Yeah it is Especially from a person blabs and tries to justify themselves
Atleast I have something of substance to say. To someone clinically insane it might seem like I am blabbing. Take your ass somewhere else. I realise now that I am wasting my breath on you.
Thank god for that
Thanking god for me realising you being an undiagnosed psychotic illiterate? God can't save you at this point. What you need is a few months in the psych ward.
I love the story between the main couple aka the gay couple. Very wholesome, very sweet, green flag all along. Nothing about the two make me feel like anything was lacking. Okay, maybe I thought there could have been more elaboration on how they came to terms with their respective feelings and how it blossomed yada yada but whatever that isn't my complaint.
What I don't understand is WHY write panels about a heterosexual love story, when I was promised in the tag that it is shounen ai/yaoi? For a second there, I actually believed the woman paired with the pink haired guy (i don't remember his name sorry) was trans and I was excited with the possibility.
I know I don't have to bitch about it and many people will be irritated by this opinion of mine but I HAD to rant because I am not here to read hetero love stories because I don't care even a least bit for them. Idk if this was the decision of the artist/writer's editor's who was too responsible for making them delete the 'steamy' scenes which according to them was too 'sexual' hence had to make it safer to consume.
It's weird for me and I am not saying straight characters need not be written in queer stories but if I clicked on a tag which brings me to a story which contains a queer story idk why someone thinks it's okay to forcefully shove a straight love story down my throat. You can mention it, this man is dating this woman, blah blah, congratulations, who cares? But to actually show them meeting each other, falling for each other, like naw.
I know this is a feel good story and all that, and contains experiences of people who venture their college lives and jobs but I still can't accept actually having to sit down and read a man and a woman falling in love (unless ofc they are trans and then I don't mind).
